#basically grew up together

[solsticethebatearedfox]

damn, cats really are Creatures, aren't they? Couldn't find my sweet boy anywhere in the house, swore he was inside for the night, but he wasn't in any of his usual spots. And I couldn't see him anywhere else either - I even checked in the kitchen cupboard. So, I instead loudly opened his food drawer, and made tin cluttering noises. He instantly teleported in front of me from who knows where. Typical 🙄

#i love him so much it's unreal #had him for 11 years #basically grew up together #i think the most valuable lesson he taught me (other than how to summon him via food) is probably boundaries #i'm way better and understanding and respecting his boundaries my own and other people's #i would have learnt that eventually but having him rip my scalp open as a kid definitely sped up the process #now i can't even remember the last time he scratched me intentionally #I'm definitely not the best cat dad #i could have trained him better growing up #but he follows me around the house sometimes #and when i get back after a holiday he purrs louder than ever #he's such a sweetheart omg #like. he literally won't get up on my bed without prompting even though he's slept there almost every night for 11 years #he always makes sure it's okay first 🥺🥺🥺🥺 #and even in summer (like 40° aussie summer) he sleeps right next to me #hes my favourite. my beautiful sweet gray boy. #solstice irl

I turn 28 today and, upon checking, that means my blog is 10 years old today ❤️

I made this blog for some fun and, 10 years on, I don’t know what I’d do without it. It’s a place where I can be my fangirl self, be giddy, be excited and share the love I have over the silly little blue box show and that tall skinny scottish bloke 🫶✨ Forever grateful!

#me and this blog have basically grew up together #damn #we’re getting old blog!! #david tennant #doctor who #nomie posts

Let 👏 Near 👏 fuck

#excuse my language but #hes an adult he can do what he wants #and people still act like hes unshippable or canonically 12 the entire manga or something #i say this as somebody who basically has no desire to ship him either hahaha but its just ridiculous the things people come up with #for reasons why its problematic to ship near #like he plays with toys still guess what so do zillions of adults #or he shouldn't be shipped with mello because they grew up together so its like theyre brothers #ok?? how often does anyone ever say that about matt and mello #the second most popular ship in the entire series since forever #yeah thats right never #read the manga too maybe hes just a lot of fun there #near #p

Tsurugi is talking with touma over the phone here and we only hear tsurugi's side of the conversation. I know yoshimasa was the closest thing touma had to a good father figure so I can see him trying to be nice to his kids, but the image of touma picking up shuhei and his little sister from school is still funny.

#servamp #taishi touma #kamiya tsurugi #one cool thing about the different generations of C3 is that they all have known each other for so long #that they still remember some now adult characters from when they were still children/teenagers #Shirayuki and mikado still see their children as kids sometimes and letting them go to make their own choices seems hard to them #Yoshimasa was somewhat of a father figure to teenage touma and kid/teenage tsurugi #shamrock knew shuhei since he was a baby and in final servamp quest he comments on how tall touma has gotten #touma and tooru know each since elementary school and iori at least since their high school years I assume #jun tsurugi and yumi all know each other since elementary school and grew up together #and with mahiru you have him being the biological son of the vice manager #nephew/basically son of the executive manager #and considering how iori died to protect him and asked him to call him uncle iori in parallel summer honorary nephew of the branch manager

Kurai is sooo...

#I'm liking these scenes more knowing that they basically grew up together and don't like each other #and im a kurai liker #a kurai lover even #I've always had a soft spot for characters who see themselves as normal but they are a little fucked up in the head <3 #kurai violent when tho??? show me #yohaji

[kicks door down]

Autistic Nishiki whose special interest is fashion and not only considers what's trendy but also looks out for fabrics that aren't a sensory nightmare, however sometimes he will force himself to wear something that isn't comfy for appearance's sake, which leaves him more vulnerable to getting overwhelmed and therefore 'emotional' Also means he has his collar popped like Kiryu's for sensory reasons too and slutty reasons, which would once again make me correct in saying if he undid his collar in Kiwami he'd be normal again because if I were constantly experiencing sensory discomfort I too would be fucked up and evil.

Cause like here's the thing, autistic Kiryu and Majima headcanons are more obvious (especially the former), whereas Nishiki probably comes off as the most 'normal'; he can likely maintain eye contact and talk to people 'normally' and not like, go off on some random tangent about a special interest or hyperfixation. And then you remember masking is a thing.

And okay, so I actually think it's unfair a lot of fandom considers him a 'crybaby' right, cause he's cried in situations MOST PEOPLE WOULD RIGHTFULLY CRY OVER! BUT, I can use this to my Autistic Advantage and have this be he actually struggles to regulate his emotions, and considering he's been exposed to the yakuza world since a young age where ANY emotion that isn't 'respectable stoicism' or 'righteous fury and indignation', he's seen as even MORE overly emotional. Hence the need to start masking so early, PLUS having to protect Kiryu who couldn't mask if his life depended on it because he doesn't realise he may HAVE to (speaking from personal experience, Kiryu definitely went his whole life unaware there was anything ""wrong"" with him (for lack of a better word) and had people just like "oh yeah he's just Like That dw bout it" and went on with his life), so Nishiki takes up the mantle of I'm The One Who Knows What We're Doing Lad's desperate to gain acceptance and will change whatever he has to but people still somehow pick up that Something's Off About Him and so they tend to be disdainful or brush him off. It's easy charisma that can win over hostesses and brief encounters with civillians but can't carry across in the yakuza. Kiwami is him trying his DAMNDEST to act neurotypical even at the cost of his own comfort, and the worst part is it's not working

#akira nishikiyama #yeah i can do headcanons too!! i can go all in on em!!! i need more silly headcanons to go with it #what do you think his stims are? i literally just read a mutual say he likes spinning keys and shiny things and YOU ARE SO CORRECT #i think he likes clicking his lighter open and closed as well which is another reason it's annoying Kiryu keeps borrowing/losing it gvbhjnb #sorry i had a chat with a friend last night about this cause this headcanon's been swirling around in my head for a while and i'm actually #putting the pieces together. sorry for using terms like 'wrong' and 'normal' but it's like that's the easiest way for me to explain it and #like i said im talking from personal experience. im close with someone whose basically masked their whole life and is realising 'nah mate #im just nd' meanwhile I grew up having no idea what autism was but I Clearly Was That and assumed everyone ELSE was being difficult #and yet despite relating to Kiryu moreso something about Nishiki's lack of a hold on his identity compels me and im like same dude #this is what i mean by whenever i think about Nishiki there's a 1/3 chance i'll start crying cause HE MAKES ME SO SAD #BABYGIRL YOU DESERVED BETTER!!!!!

way too late to be articulating this thought but every time i loop hayloft and see the goofy utsuro!takasugi->oboro!takasugi noooo lil sibling dont kill sensei by killing sensei. kill sensei by killing ourselves. convolution. i am more and more fueled into getting as stupid as i can in my gntm postcanon lol. takasugi's eye has always been fine and he crawled out of that tower miraculously alive. so did oboro. separately. bc they. separately. uno reverse took over shouyou and utsuro's bodies respectively. all the other altana bodies in the terminal died for real tho so shouyoutsuro did as well. so whos that baby? why its my good friend shouyou(tsuro. theyre integrating.) the fourth :)

and the shouyou body takasugi took over just had a normal ass stab wound thats easy street hes fine now. but the utsuro body oboro took over was 1. largely metaphorical 2. also stabbed 3. more importantly underwent ego death something bad. so oboro's still on borrowed time he just gets enough to hang out with everyone until they get bored of him after a month and then he goes crawls in the woods and dies. one more time

#sopping wet gintoki posting #oboro gets to play peekaboo w baby shouyou and then get his ass kicked sparring w child shouyou #and they spend a lot of time playing. throws a dart at the wall. stardew valley together. #one must imagine a postcanon altana being that can function like um that one village in mushishi #that was just reincarnating every ancestor as a descendant. however that worked #shouyou baby 4 gets to live a full life and then die and then get reborn as a new guy. no more shouyou except by lineage of #being raised by descendants of the same takes-a-village that shouyou baby 4 did #so the Cycles continue but the suffering gets diluted a bit instead of concentrated into one insane guy #moths in sinks #<- I GUESS? im avoiding altana baby sugi there so that the tkgn wont be weird but is it less weird if sugi used to be shouyou. #i mean its LESS weird than a sugi who grew up renesmee fast to come be with his boyfriends again. but still weird. #handwaves. all the bodyswapping was negotiated and agreed to in the altana mind palace lobby. shouyou vacated the premises. #just gave him a blood transfusion basically. everything transplant. ship of theseus'd him.

okay but barbara kean and edward nygma both started out as good, friendly people, both struggled with a darker side of themselves, both dealt with drug use and childhood abuse, both had downhill character arcs in S1 that culminated in a traumatic event triggering a mental breakdown, both became flashy villains with a flair for drama and violence, and ofc they’re both bisexual icons

my POINT is their chemistry and parallels were wasted on Ed’s revenge arc and we were robbed of them being not only an iconic power duo but also besties 💔

#i will die on this hill #the scenes where barbara asks ed for help with the court and where they’re torturing mayor james live in my head rent free #yes barbara wanted smth out of him but it’s so obvious how much fun they had together!! #i can’t remember if it’s canon but i keep seeing ppl mention that barbara gave ed the drugs he used in 3x15 and just #the IMPLICATIONS #like they mentioned she struggled with drug abuse in S1 and then never brought it up again like??? #there were so many opportunities to point out the many parallels in their backstories and we got NOTHING #also i see the appeal of shipping them but their friendship is infinitely more interesting to me #bc barbara grew up being told her self-worth was defined by her beauty and charm and learned to use those as tools for manipulation #and yet when she tries to do that w ed (trailing a finger down his jaw etc) he looks completely Unbothered #i just like the idea of their relationship being completely platonic and him liking her bc she’s clever and dramatic and fun #but barbara still flirts w him for fun bc he’s unaffected and only has eyes for a certain penguin anyways #basically i want an AU w no isabella and where barbara and ed’s friendship grew organically from their tendency to be Dramatic Bitches #this is completely incoherent but anyways it’s pride month and i’m bi so my opinion is Correct /j #barbara kean #edward nygma #the riddler #gotham #gotham tv #gotham fox #also i think they both had their Villain Moment in ‘under the knife’ in S1 so some of these parallels must’ve been deliberate #and then they were just NEVER brought up like WHAT

#chasing nova 🌟 #artists on tumblr #my art #art #drawing #oc #original character #kohaku nanase #tora nanase #yuki shinomori #kiryu suzumura #haku and tora are literally best siblings i cannot express this enough #no matter what haku will always be there for tora and he'll protect her till his last breath. she's THAT important to him. #they basically grew up together since tora was adopted when they were both young kids #i like to imagine that haku doesn’t really give yuki a lot of like skinship but he just sits beside her or back to back (his fave) to just #let her know he’s there and that he isn’t going anywhere #and haku and kiryu are best rivals. the coolest brotp ever #even tho techincally haku doesn't see it as a rivalry and it's just a friendship to him #but kiryu decided haku was his rival and so it just goes on like that LOL
